My primary comms unit flooded on a job in the Gulf last week
It was a 20 minute dive at about 90 feet, and the unit just went silent halfway through. I had to switch to my backup hand signals with the tender, which felt super slow. We got the job done, but it was a good reminder to check my O-rings more often. Anyone else have a piece of gear fail at a bad time and what was your backup plan?

Buddy's backup light died mid-cave penetration.

Wait what, he went caving with only one backup light? That's asking for trouble in total darkness. My hands get sweaty just thinking about being stuck down there. Dude needs to triple-check his gear next time.
